My response:

A "No-Fault" Divorce means just that. The divorce is granted on generic grounds; e.g., Irreconcilable Differences. There is no trial in regard to the divorce itself.

The only time a trial is held concerns property and / or child issues.

And, quite frankly, you really don't want a "Fault" divorce unless you have thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars to spend on attorney's fees and evidentiary hearings, and expert witnesses, etc., etc.

You may not like what your spouse did to you, but believe me, a divorce is a divorce is a divorce. The only difference is that one costs far more to obtain than the other.

"But, I want to pound his / her head into the ground; I want to prove a point, and it's the principle of the matter."

That, and a dime, won't buy you a cup of coffee 3 years from now - - because nobody cares (not even you after 3 years). That's why the laws were changed.

Thank you for your reply. I can let go of the fault but it is set for trial. Don't I have the right to prove that she put me in financial problems thoughout the marriage and dont they take all the debt and her contributation to the marriage into consideration, which was none. Unless I walk away broke she won't be happy. I was just wondering what was allowed in trial and wasn't. Thanks for all your imput.
